Abstract excerpt
The response regulator YycF is essential for cell growth in gram-positive bacteria including Bacillus subtilis, Staphylococcus aureus and Streptococcus pneumoniae. To study the function of YycF in the essential process, we characterized a YycF (H215P) mutation that caused temperature-sensitive growth in B. subtilis. The response regulators YycF and YycF (H215P) were analyzed using circular dichroism spectroscopy,...
